Will it work with a solar cover on the pool?

Sorry. I purchased it but haven't installed it yet. Pool opens tomorrow. If I get it installed I will let you know but I really won't be able to test it right away. Way too cold and will need some time to clean up the water.

Probably not, it does need direct sunlight to charge the solar panel...too bad because this is a great, fun nighttime ducky that makes you smile. You could try it, but you probably would have to leave it in the sun outside of the screened area to collect sun and put it back in the pool.

No solar. It cut back my presses to my pump and sprayed over the side of my pool. I'm not a fan would sale mine cheap. btbthrone@gmail.com

I will say "I think so." Mine works normally when my solar cover is on, and that floats on the pool surface. As long as the cable is placed over the side of the pool as always, and between the pool and any cover, it should roam around as normal and drag the cord with it. Hope this helps. Phil.

It will work if you can keep the pump at angel, if not the pool cover will stuck to the bottom of the pump. I was thinking to rig a round metal mesh to put at the bottom of the pump so the pool cover will not stick to it.

Since solar cover just rests on pool, the rain just flows into the pool. There is very little water on top of cover.

No, that is the size but I can't imagine why you'd want it not in complete contact with the water. When exposed to the sun the water keeps the plastic from overheating (by exchanging the heat of the plastic into the water) thus preventing the plastic from rapid deterioration. If your having trouble with the plastic blowing off of the covered pool you might try weighting the plastic down with something, perhaps an un-coiled garden hose?

I am noy sure, I do not use a solar blanket on my pool. PoolSkim removes surface dirt so the water needs to move fteely for PoolSkim to work. The must be operational and cirulating the water. Hope this helps.

The holes shouldn't be random. My cover also has holes on it, but this is to allow the water on top of the cover find its way back into the pool, without forming huge puddles on the cover. The solar cover would not work efficiently if it was trapped under an inch of water, since it relies on direct sunlight to warm the pool water.

We clean the pool before we use the solar cover. I'm not sure what you mean by "trapping dirt". It lays directly on the pool water so if there is a lot of surface debris it will get on the cover.

No..we have always used a solar blanket on our pool..and have never noticed it working any different. Hope this helps. .

I don't have one of those but I do not see why it couldn't. The cable does floor o the surface of the pool. But I would think it would skim under the cover.

Yes I would think. I have a 30' x 12-15' irregular shaped pool with white plaster and it covers well. Make sure the orientation when installed is right. If the location of the light is on the longer side then set it to wider beam and on the shorter wall use the longer beam. Its done by rotating the reflector when installed.

A pool cover is the best way to retain heat and slow evaporation. This solar heater isn't worth the effort to be honest with you. I didn't have much luck with it. Just not enough surface area to provide much additional heating of the water.

It works under both a solar, floating cover as well as a built in safety cover. Just make sure to feed it all of the line that it needs, and then cover it.

You mean "solar" as in to heat the pool, above the pool ? Because my pool also came with the top cover for when not in use and mine stays plenty warm just from the sun. I live in California and I am actually thinking about putting a canopy over mine so it won't get so hot.
